Julianna Baggott can write anything, from literary fiction for adults to books for children and everything in between. She tells James about what fuels her writing, how she writes so much, her love of the reader, and how she really only wants to be Cal Ripken. Then Julianna’s daughter, the artist Phoebe Scott, joins the show to talk about her work and being raised by a writer.
